History can involve studying one people, culture, or country in particular, but it also often involves general overviews of broad trends. Students of history may be required to conduct research in a specific topic.

The USA is home to some of the world's top universities. Students can expect a diverse, innovative, and engaging student experience. The country emphasizes accessibility and quality independent research, allowing students to push the limits of their field should they want to.

American English is extremely dominant in the USA, so classes will likely be in English, with a few exceptions. This means that many schools will ask for proof of English proficiency through the TOEFL iBT test before admitting international students.

Additionally, American landscapes and environments allow students to study where they can feel comfortable. From crowded urban centers to tropical areas, the USA has it all!

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
